ba7man: Those Lagos roads never have an inception. The first day of their opening and they handle more traffic than those AKS roads will handle in a month.

Rad1cal: Akpabio did all these squarely from state funds without counterpart private sector funding.

Can the OP now show us what Fashola achieved with his over 30billion monthly cash for over 6 years without Private sector funding.

Godswill Akpabio is real Mehnnn!

jmaine: In other news . .The AKS government may not be a photo freak, but to clear all seeming doubt. please kindly head to the following portal for more updates on the immense stewardship of Ogbeni Godswill Akpabio

It is loaded . . .

emiye:

The highlighted in red is what you lots say, when you have EXHAUSTED all the " uncommon" transformation pictures you can display from Akwaibom.

You dont need to start trolling, i have shown you what you called shabby looking, you claim "move further the axis", objectivity is a missing word in your dictionary

cjrane: [size=18pt]Fashola is a shameless noise maker. Like his average native Yoruba person. It is an insult to compare him to Akpabio that have been developing his state without any help from the Federal Government nor heavily taxing non-indigenes unfairly, only to deport them after using their tax money.

If the Federal Government of Nigeria had not built Lagos as Nigeria's capital and creating our present economic problems by the mindless spending of all our money earned in the oil boom days on Lagos infrastructure, instead of building sustainable industries around the country to help Nigeria develop in a balanced way . Lagos would have been far less developed than Ado Ekiti in spite of Fashola's noise making.[/size]

jmaine:

You get faced with simple reality and you call it trolling. . It's not my fault that you have been unable to deliver potent facts.

Just going to the net to pull out pics without been conversant with the area is futile. All i meant was for you to personally feel it life than internet deliveries.

Not my fault dude but yours

emiye:

What point are you making? That i dont ply the lekki -expressway road? the joke is on you.

The thread simply states show us Akpabio's project, then you start rambling with em em em "If you want to know the real deal, please travel down to AKS and see" and "The AKS government may not be a photo freak".

You have nothing to show ---- simple as ABC, just EMOTIONS and false beliefs on your head

Commerce & Industry in Akwa Ibom State

To develop Akwa Ibom’s industrial potentials and at the same time attract potential investors the government has put in place an industrialisation blueprint to enable such investors examine and leverage inward looking, import-substitution, and export-led industrialisation strategies being adopted by the state government. The rapid industrial development of the state, therefore, involves investment promotion, and public private partnership.



Government has vigorously enabled the environment for the development of industrial estates and cottage industries whether by the state or with private interests, such that each of our 31 local government areas will have at least one industrial estate to employ the citizens and process available raw materials into finished products.



As an empowerment strategy, government supports and sponsors its citizens to embark on commercial ventures. Support includes identification of market opportunities, participation in domestic and international trade fairs, provision of infrastructures, periodic material subsidies, and patronage of local entreprises.

Atouke: Lagos State housing: this is a sample of great housing estate that was built by Jakande the best governor lagos had. under the watch of governor fashola this housing estates were allowed to rot. and every day in the news you hear of building collapsing in lagos

Akwa Ibom State has garnered N20 billion as Internally Generated Revenue in 2012 exceeding last year’s projection by over N3 billion, a development it attributed to the introduction of automated revenue collection system.

The State government has also hired Romflex consultants to handle the registration and renewal of motor licenses to boost its revenue generation capacity.

Bassey Andy, chairman of the state internal revenue service who made this known in Uyo, the state capital said the board generated N16.4 billion last year, higher than the estimated revenue of N15 billion adding that the achievement was possible by the solid revenue base laid under his supervision.

Andy who spoke when he received the President of Chartered Institute of Taxation of Nigeria (CITN) in his office said the development of a data system on information sector taxes was being carried out adding that when completed it would generate more revenue to the state government.

According to him, the commissioning of a tax consultant in January 2012 to process and renew vehicle licenses under the new scheme had enable the board to realize N30 million within one and a half months as against N6 million collected last year within the same period.

He said the board has also started the production of electronic tax clearance certificate to tax payers that could be accessed easily throughout the world on demand describing this as the first of its kind in the south south zone of the country.

Earlier, President of the CITN, John Jegede represented by chairman joint district society, Cyril Ade lauded the board for the impressive revenue record so far realised adding that it would contribute to the provision of basic social infrastructure by the stat government.

Meanwhile, the tax consultant said many revenue loopholes have been blocked resulting in the channeling of all revenue to government coffers.

Bassey Eyo, manager of Romflex consultants however listed many challenges including wrong passage of vehicle numbers plates from stores to motor licensing authorities without passing through his office for proper capturing into the system before issuance to motor licensing authorities.

Goddex:


Akpabio beats Fashola by miles. The Lagos media hype is Fashola's only tool. That is why if he provides street lights on Ikorodu road or Ipaja road, his illiterate foot soldiers will move it straight to front page for celeberation. Meanwhile, almost all of Uyo and Calabar are lit up with functional (I repeat "Functional" street lights every night and nobody is making noise about it. The Federal Govt's owned Abuja metropolis is almost entirely lit up every night with street light and GEJ nor the FCT minister has never mentioned that as an achievement. The rate at which my Lagosian brothers celebrate mediocrity these days surprises me.

Fashola's only major legacy project is Eko Athlantic city. Even that is being Co financed with private sector funding. He has also done a lot in road construction and despite the huge revenue base of Lagos state he has acquired so much debts for upcoming generations. But how does all that compare with Akpabio who is doing the following:

1) Free and Compulsory education

2) Ibom Power Plant

3) Akwa Ibom International Airport

4) Ibaka deep Seaport

5) Excellent quality road network around the lenght and breath of the state

6) 30,000 seater international stadium

7) Took practical steps to establish the Akwa Ibom state University

Emmadani: ....

you are simply trolling, when you have facts, and real deal projects commensurate with the income accrued to that akwa ibom state, let me know.

Emmadani: thank you.Akpabio has even built majority of the federal roads in aks yet we no ear noise.He is currently constructing a sixlane uyo-aba road,he even had to tell d governor of abia to let him complete d road til it reaches abia,yet we no ear noise.

did the abia governor agree to it?

What Akpabio is trying to do in woo and transfer the commercial activity Aba is known for to Uyo by way of building a beautiful motorway connecting both cities. To be sincere with you, I think he should go ahead and build the road all the way to Aba. There would be technological(if that is the right word ) ,industrial, and commercial transfer of know-how from garbage-infested Aba to a more enabling environment in Uyo. It would be a coup de tat against the chest beating Igbo's who believe they have the monopoly of business acumen and activities.
